"Prairie View did a great job of making it difficult," head coach Tom Brown said. "They put a lot of numbers behind the ball. I think we showed some early nerves but came back in the second half to overcome some frustration. We had a couple of chances in the second half that didn't go in but got a late goal for the victory."

Alonzo led the Bearkat attack with five shots. Two were saves. Shelby McDaniel fired three shots.

Senior goalkeeper Michelle McCullough picked up the shutout, making four saves.
